Delicious fish and chips, really chunky fish and great sized portion. Even the packet of tartare sauce was extra tasty! Excellent customer service from the lady in charge, who helped when my son was ill. Very much appreciated, thank you

Nice place! We stopped for lunch here because there was no massive queue like at some other places. Food was served fast, staff was helpful and nice. We had Scampi with chips and fish bites which wasn't overpriced and was very tasty. Nice place

The hotdog was nice. The guy serving was accommodating about my fussiness over toppings and allowed me to switch the sauce for grated cheese. Very filling as well - I didn't leave hungry. There were a few options of snack foods, although they were as filling as a proper meal for me. Would return and try some of the other options.
